Our editors create news in a data template. They want to see the name of the creator in an own column. How can I store the name of the editor during entry creation?

I tried with default value "#row.getEditor().realname" but did not work.

thx

Hello Karsten,

I think you can do it by using Rules and a ValueService. In the ValueService you can require the UserAgent to get the current user. The value returned by the ValueService can be stored in a form field.

It is realy easy if you are famillar with FirstSpirit development and have some basic programming skills.

Create a FirstSpirit module project
Create a service class that implements the ValueService interface
In the getValue methode of the service just return the name of the user
```
return broker.requestSpecialist(UserAgent.TYPE).getUser().getName();
```
Build the module and install it on your FirstSpirit server
In the last step you have to modify the rule, for information how to do that please look in the odfs

I hope this is helpful and will solve your problem.

Regards

Thorsten
